unable access protected folders buffalo linkstation

Basically from Vista (Beta 2) I am unable to access protected folders on Buffalo Linkstation. I can browse to the linkstation, 'see' the list of shared folders, access those folders without access restrictions. But when I attempt to access a resticted folder I get the usual dialogue box for username/password, but this is then rejected - network resource unavailable, contact administrator blah blah
Buffalo Tech support response has a very unhelpfull - "the linkstations are Linux boxes so are probably not compatable" But they work fine with Windows XP.
Any ideas gents ?

Unable to access protected folders on Buffalo Linkstation
There appears to be a compatability issue between Vista (beta2) and the Buffalo Linkstation. Protected folders on the Buffalo Linkstation cannot be accessed - the usual username/password prompt appears, but this is rejected - "network resource not available..." etc. Unrestricted folders on the linkstation are accessible.
Any advice

I have your pain also.. the exact same problem. I cannot figure the problem out but its stopping me from using the refreshing new vista as I cant access my data.. If anybody could help out please!!

Would it be possible to get network capture for the failed operations ? Please use netmon or ethereal to get the capture and send it out to me (prashp@microsoft.com) There was one interop issue caused by a bug in the linux NAS box, it could be a manifestation of the same issue. A capture would be helpful in diagonizing further.

Unfortunately I am using 64 bit version - and ethereal does not support [winpcap not suported yet]. Also I may not have the knowledge to use it even if I could get it to run !
Sirdaz - and you get a capture ?

I too suffer this problem (I may go back to XP) with beta 2
Is this the reason? http://www.emailbattles.com/archive/battles/opsys_aadchcgagd_hf/
Linkstation uses samba V2.2.8a-ja-1.1
Anyone with a solution, please respond.
Cheers, Steve.
